My ma...Thanks for doing the legwork on 2005, Byron. My main point is that there is a rather high number of RBs that have been drafted and made an impact the last few seasons and all we&#39;ve done is draft Forsett and THREE fullbacks. I do place some of the blame on Holmgren who always was way too enamored with Mo Morris, but last year&#39;s draft was a joke considering our needs. Julius Jones and Duckett were not valuable enough to nab in free agency prior to the draft. That money should have been spent elsewhere.hawkbloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08985670056942905008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003456043232190852.post-34001486408796708692009-08-28T09:10:40.763-07:002009-08-28T09:10:40.763-07:00The 2005 draft wasn&#39;t so bad; the only good RB...The 2005 draft wasn&#39;t so bad; the only good RB in the first two rounds was Ronnie Brown, who went second overall before we drafted. It would have been nice to get Frank Gore (1st pick, 3rd round), Marion Barber (8th in the 4th) or Brandon Jacobs (next one).<br /><br />To me this just emphasizes what a crapshoot the draft is, because other than the guys listed above the only notable RBs taken that year were Cedric Benson, Cadillac Williams, J.J. Arrington and Darren Sproles. Benson and Williams were the 4th and 5th overall, but they (and Brown) were the only first rounders. That means each of the other guys was passed over multiple times by each team. Hell, Ryan Grant wasn&#39;t even drafted! Yet there were at least a dozen other RBs drafted that year and I don&#39;t think I&#39;d ever heard of them.Byronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08919576513861556075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003456043232190852.post-3426120408767922442009-08-28T06:17:57.711-07:002009-08-28T06:17:57.711-07:00Can I just say Amen!!!

Just burning cap space left and right..I just hope Paul Allen comes to his senses and kicks this ego maniac to the curb next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
